CHAPTER 55

Lyra's POV.

There was nothing to hide besides the fact that we had various ideas of what the world should look like and now that he had finally realized that things were not going to go the same way, he was going to look for ways to breach the gap.

I had only one thought running through my mind and that included the fact that there was even more disaster when you were trying to pull things in the right direction and rather than just doing the wrong things most times.

I wasn't going to fight myself or do any of the things that I considered appalling just to get her attention but I was very particular about what I wanted to do and at some point I was going to have to wait for a long time before we were able to get it done.

I was also thinking about how long it was going to be before we finally got something related to ever understanding each other.

“Camille, get back to your base.”

The order was clear, and there was something amazing about the way everything had just been going making me wonder if there was a little bit of hiccup here and there but I would never know this now would I?

It almost seemed like he was just angry at life in general which was something that did not make any sense to me because on no account was this supposed to complicate a lot of things, instead supposed to make things move smoothly.

I was very weak but decided not to chase something that could potentially backfire on me.

I was also looking for reasons to make sure that none of these things reoccured.

I wasn't going to be passed around just because I wanted to prove that I was loyal to someone.

Didn't make any sense on any standards and I was not willing to compromise on what I already knew was going to back fire in one way or the other.

So I looked straight into his eyes. “You don't have to go off on me simply because I choose what I choose. I don't want to be involved in all of that anymore.” I stated clearly.

If there was going to be a bonding between the both of us it had to be natural and not because he was pushing for it in one way or the other and trying to make me look like a complete fool in the process.

I was also thinking about how long it was going to take for me to finally come up with an idea that was not going to get destroyed.

Lucius growled, an earthshattering one that could have made anyone in my position afraid but not me.

I was confident in my abilities and I didn't want to push my luck but he kept testing me and making me realize that there was even more to this than he was willing to deal with.

“You know it's quite a lot of time and energy invested in making sure that we get this up and running so I'm not going to let you destroy it with ideas that not even exist.”

He could go on and say whatever he wanted, but my stance was not changing anytime soon and he needed to get used to it before it was too late.

“I'm not asking you to marry me. I'm asking you to see where this is going to lead but you've done nothing but rabbit in my face that I harbor feelings for you. I wonder how that's going on.”

He was speaking a different completely language an expecting me to come to terms of the fact that it was going to be my reality.

I refuse to have such realities and we needed to come to terms with the truth instead of beating around it all the time.

“You want me to be with you not because you really are into me but because you look for ways to bend me and utilize my abilities to your own advantage. Don't think I don't know what you've been doing all along.” I stared him back in the eyes.

This was going to go on for a whole long time and I was willing to take the risk but not at the detriment of what I considered very important to myself and I was looking for a ways that I'll be able to bring back the entire idea and seal it up without anybody knowing my next moves.

In this game we had to be very careful about what we wanted to do and how we wanted to do it.

“We have to come to an agreement that we are not going to complicate issues by trying to become lovers when we should be focusing on getting that man out of the way.”I suggested.

He was right to think about because he Harvard me for a long time I was going to fall in love with him but that was not going to continue.

I was putting my foot down and nothing was going to change it. In fact I was willing to take a risk that was going to set to me at a higher advantage than normal

I was also thinking about how long that was going to last before the both of us finally came to agreement that we would be better off as friends and how it would be easy for me to escape.

“So, is there anything differently that you would love to try or am I going to have to wait for so long before we start over again?” I demanded.

I had the upper hand hair and I was willing to twist it. “You don't get to dictate rules. But I'm willing to indulge you. If you can give me correct predictions about the next moves your ex mate is willing to take, I’d grant whatever you want.” He promised.

I smiled cheekily. Well, who wouldn't accept that?
